Our Take

ALGIERS thrusts us into their dystopian world once again with their latest album, Shook. This Birmingham-based band brings a fresh perspective to the post-punk scene, blending elements of soul, industrial rock, and gospel in a way that is both jarring and captivating.

From the opening track, "There Is No Year," ALGIERS grabs hold of your senses and doesn't let go. Lead singer Franklin James Fisher's powerful vocals pierce through the cacophony of distorted guitars and thundering drums, creating a sense of urgency and unease that is impossible to ignore.

Tracks like "Dispossession" and "Chaka" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres, creating a sonic landscape that is both haunting and exhilarating. The album's production is flawless, with each instrument and vocal line cutting through the mix with razor-sharp precision.

ALGIERS have always had a knack for social commentary, and Shook is no exception. Lyrically, the album takes on themes of identity, power, and resistance, urging listeners to question the status quo and fight for change. It's a powerful message delivered with ferocity and passion.

In a music industry filled with cookie-cutter bands and boring soundalikes, ALGIERS stand out as a bold and inventive force to be reckoned with. Shook is a testament to their talent and vision, a sonic journey that will leave you exhilarated and, well, shook.

About the artist

Algiers

Meet ALGIERS, the genre-blending band that's been turning heads and dropping jaws since their explosive debut in 2015. Hailing from the steamy streets of Atlanta, Georgia, this four-piece group is redefining what it means to be a politically-charged, soul-infused, post-punk powerhouse. Led by the enigmatic Franklin James Fisher on vocals, ALGIERS effortlessly weave together elements of gospel, punk, electronic, and everything in between to create a sound that is as urgent and unapologetic as it is invigorating and innovative. Their lyrics tackle issues of race, class, and power with a searing honesty that is as refreshing as it is necessary in today's tumultuous world. But don't let the weightiness of their words fool you - ALGIERS know how to throw down a live show that will have you dancing, sweating, and questioning everything you thought you knew about music. With critically acclaimed albums like "The Underside of Power" and "There Is No Year" under their belt, ALGIERS have cemented themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Whether they're blowing the roof off a packed venue or quietly stirring souls with a stripped-down acoustic set, this band is never content to rest on their laurels. So do yourself a favour and dive headfirst into the sonic world of ALGIERS - you won't regret it. Just be prepared to have your mind blown and your heart broken in the best way possible.
